Botanical Garden in New York

 The Bronx Botanical Garden, formally known as the New York Botanical Garden, is unquestionably one of the world’s best municipal gardens. Founded in 1891, Bronx Botanical Gardens is also a leading regional education center of horticulture. For a plant lover, this is heaven. For a casual fan of trees and flowers, a trip to New York Botanical Garden Bronx might just be the thing to launch you into the ‘plant lover’ category. Either way, the Garden is so exquisite that it tends to be consistently found on even the savviest New Yorker’s suggested itinerary.




 Distinguished as a National Historic Landmark, Bronx Botanical Garden boasts 27 specialty gardens, as well as just letting Mother Nature do her best by leaving forty acres of uncut New York forestland.

 A visit to this forest in the Bronx is like going back in time, before the area that is now New York City was claimed by European settlers and subsequently annexed by stone, cement, steel and brick. A walk through this natural terrain-- complete with hills, ponds, river waterfalls, and natural rock outcroppings, is a perfect silent sanctuary in the middle of a week of Midtown sounds and Broadway shows. The plants of the Bronx Botanical Gardens seem to breathe for you, replenishing you deeply as you walk among them.
